#the tw call#you don't see anyone being actively dismembered#but its there#also there isn't really a better word for 'in water unconscious but not dying per se'#so drowning it is#also there's a ...strike? protest? happening starting on the 30th#so while the last two updates are queued to go up during it. i wont be on durring those days at all#solidarity and all that#... i mean i could just not queue/post them but i don't want to sit on them until its over#becuase people seem to be wanting to make it indefinate?#i... don't want to stay off tumblr indefinately... :(#plus how would people know when to stop if its indefinate#i don't think news cites would cover it

Word on the street is negotiations between the WGA and the studios are still currently taking place going into the evening…
#byler#take everything with a grain of salt#until the wga updates#nothing is set in stone#but for reference#it’s about 7:30pm rn for them#they have been negotiating for 8 hrs..#the fact that they are said to still currently be in talks and could continue to be negotiating into the night...#in person...#that is not normal.#usually they will talk during business hours and separate around 4-5pm max#bc if a deal is not being met there is no reason to go further into the evening#unless of course they feel they are close to a deal and it’s worth it to keep pushing through..#some major writer accounts are talking about staying up until midnight for an update#bc if it takes that long for an update then it would presumably mean they made the effort to stay to get a deal made…#also the fact that the executives are there in person is making me sort of hmmm#i don't see a point in them all coming together for days and hours on end going into the evening now#only to not strike a deal#and then be forced to come back to the table a month from now#looking dumb af#so…#I would say I’m more hopeful than I was before..#like maybe tonight#more likely something more tangible tomorrow…?#maybe a deal next week?#I’m hoping rn next week might be definitive actually#regardless#stay tuned for wga statement 🫡

36(???) days until Charlie...
#mira draws stuff#fate charlemagne#charlemagne#fgo#fate grand order#fate extella link#charlemagne countdown#sorry for the relatively small ratio of Charlie to picture today I realized it was 11 p.m. and went oH CRAP#so smol Crane Game AU Charlie strikes again#the class work and the existential ennui have been kicking my butt#hopefully I'll feel up to drawing something more detailed soon...#thank you to those of you who've put well wishes in your reblog tags I see them and I love you#and for those who missed my post about it like forty(?) days ago I do know we'll be getting charlie earlier than my countdown predicts#but changing the numbering when we don't have an official release date would be too confusing#so I'm waiting until we have proper confirmation of the release date before updating the countdown number#prayer circle for Traum on May 10

I finally found the screenshot of the latest shred of movie news we got from Jess, from 4/1/23, soon before she deactivated. Here’s to hoping we maybe get another shred of news before this tweet hits the one year mark? 😅
#I promise this isn’t part of my April Fool’s joke from last year lol#I just realized that I keep mentioning it without actually showing it.#nevermoor#nevermoor movie#I talk about / give updates on the movie way more often / informally in the discord#so I just forget to talk abt it here as well lol#I think the strike just messed a lot of stuff up. + only ppl we know are attached have been working on other things#however michael gracey’s newest movie got picked up by paramount and the nevermovie was name dropped as an upcoming project in articles#so I hope somebody asks him abt it / his upcoming projects during the press tour for this other whatever movie. pls 🙏

Got my Zane/Wake charm from Vograce today! I'm not obsessed with it, so I probably won't be going through with making more.
(1st taken in fluorescent light, 2nd with a flashlight 3rd with a homemade attempt at a lightbox)
I think Vograce's charms just generally look better if they're brighter and have more saturated colors. This doesn't play to their strengths. It does look an awful lot like a film slide, that's just nit compelling me enough personally.
If you're interested in the charms and really really want one, leave a comment or something - I can see about getting a handful made - but this doesn't seem like it'll be worthwhile to go ahead and try to sell multiples of to me lol
Looks cool on my wall of (mostly not made by me) charms though.
#update#zanewake#keychain#it does look *cool* though#it's very striking on my white charm wall#that being said i just don't think it looks attention grabbing enough#also there are some oddities in the print quality and that makes me think that something w this many subtleties of tone is probably not#best suited to this while a more cartoony thing like my stunticon charms works better#....one day I'll finish Dead End#ill put the rest of the tags later when they wont show up in the main tag ... I don't think its necessary

a sprinkling of bells
esh au masterlist
hi my name is mas tomorrowshow and i love libraries
cw: implied/referenced past abuse
this story takes place approximately two months after the end of 'poisoned rats'.
-
Jimmy mills around a little, kicking at the carpet of the library. Scott’s here for a class on how to write sonnets. Jimmy doesn’t even know what a sonnet is but Scott was excited, and he hasn’t been in a library in a long time, so he doesn’t mind waiting.
For the first twenty minutes, Jimmy sits at the table Scott left him at and glances around, too nervous to actually get up and do anything. It’s only when a young woman with a library badge asks him if he needs anything that Jimmy realizes he’s been sitting here for so long.
“I haven’t been to a library since I was a teenager,” he confesses, glancing to the curtained-off place where Scott is learning about sonnets. “I’m here with my partner, and . . . and I’m not sure what to do while I wait for him.”
She smiles kindly, asks him to follow, and walks away. Jimmy does, and he finds himself on a tour of the library and its services. There’s a section for computers, and non-fiction works, and fiction works, and kids books and toys for kids and teen books and board games and so very much that Jimmy finds it a bit overwhelming. He ends up in a seating area where most people are reading or doing homework with a puzzle in front of him, one that’s already partially completed by whoever sat here before him.
It’s actually really nice. Jimmy hasn’t done a puzzle in as long as he hasn’t been to a library, and he finds himself wanting one of his own to put together at home, maybe with Scott. He sits there for a while, entirely focused on completing the flower to the left of the piece, when there’s a pale hand reaching beside him to place a totally different piece and he looks up to see Scott.
“All done with your program?” Jimmy asks, checking his watch. He’s been sitting at this puzzle for half an hour, but he doesn’t remember dissociating. Maybe he did. He’s not sure. Maybe he just got really wrapped up in it.
“Yep. Having fun?”
Jimmy nods absently, spotting the piece he’s been looking for. He slots it into place, grins at the fulfilling satisfaction. “This place is big,” he adds, setting down the pieces in his hand. “It’s a lot. But I like it. I like doing puzzles.”
“That’s great.” Scott smiles softly at him, then leans forward for a quick kiss. “I’ve got some holds to pick up. Is there anything you’d like to check out?”
“No,” Jimmy shrugs. “I never really liked reading. I don’t think I ever went to the school library for anything, other than when your freshman homeroom teacher has to show you all the resources and whatever. I just never saw the point.”
“I didn’t really go to the library much until I was on my own,” Scott says after a moment. “The school one censored just about everything, and I only ever went to the public library to get Adventures in Odyssey.” he grimaces, and Jimmy doesn’t ask about whatever that is. It’s clearly a sore topic. “But libraries saved me when I was a teenager. I practically lived in them. There’s so many librarians who helped me get back on my feet, even if they don’t know it.”
The look in Scott’s eye is far away, and Jimmy elects not to ask more. Instead, he picks up his backpack from where he’d propped it against his legs and stands, follows Scott to some shelves in the back where the books lining them have big white stickers over the spines. Weird choice, really. How are people meant to read the title?
“These are the holds,” Scott tells him, scanning the shelves until he finds the book he’s looking for and shows it to Jimmy. “They put a sticker with the first four letters of your last name and the first four digits of your card number on whatever item you put on hold online.”
It’s a big architecture book, some sort of bridge on the cover. Jimmy doesn’t quite see the appeal of it, but he wanders along behind Scott as he approaches the front desk to check out, glancing around at the shelves.
There’s a sci-fi display, a romance display, and a display all about grilling cookbooks, which seems rather niche but there’s a good thirty cookbooks filling the stand. He never knew there could be so many books. He browses them absently, and as he reaches to read the back of one of the sci-fi books that has an interesting cover, he freezes.
A book on the romance display catches his eye.
He recognizes that cover.
It’s a woman with brown hair in an emerald green dress, clinging to a cheesily handsome man with his puffy white shirt half-open. A Night With the Prince, the title reads.
Trance-like, Jimmy picks it up. Turns it over. Stares at the two reviews on the back. There’s a tagline in the same dramatic font as the cover.
Emily doesn’t know what she’s getting into with this arrogant, handsome stranger . . . !
This is his book. This is his book.
His hands shake. He never finished it, did he? He’d woken up one day back on the table being cut into, and when they eventually brought him back to the observation room, the books were gone.
And now here it is.
“Want to laugh at a trashy romance together?”
Scott’s voice snaps him out of it, and he glances between the book and Scott’s teasing smirk, before hurriedly placing it back on the stand. The burst of adrenaline at having to hide it, no one can know he cares about it, it’s just a stupid book he isn’t attached to a book it’s fine—sends every book on the display (and the sci-fi display next to it) toppling over.
Scott swears and drops to the floor, scrambling to pick up the books. Jimmy stands, frozen in place, as a librarian jogs over to help as well. It doesn’t take long to fix, but Jimmy can feel the shame searing into his very soul.
“Were you wanting this?” the librarian asks, holding up his—the book.
“No, I—no,” Jimmy says, glancing furtively at Scott. Not furtively enough, apparently, because Scott picks it right back up off the display as soon as the librarian returns to xyr work.
“Do you want it?” he asks softly.
His face is still red from the whole ordeal, and he feels it heat a bit more as Scott steps closer, book in hand. “I—I haven’t got a library card,” he stutters, shrugging. “I can’t. It doesn’t matter.”
Scott waves him off. “I can check it out, don’t worry about it.” He hesitates. “Is—is there something else you want to talk about?”
It had been a fairly strong reaction for being caught looking at a book, hadn’t it? Jimmy just shakes his head. After a moment, Scott—carefully, gently—wraps Jimmy in a hug, pressing his face into his shoulder.
Jimmy melts into the touch. Scott loves him. A book isn’t going to change that. Causing an accident isn’t going to change that.
“I’m gonna go check it out,” Scott tells him, pulling back. “And . . . sorry. If I made you feel like . . . I don’t know. Be right back.”
Jimmy hadn’t even said yes.
Three minutes later finds them in the car, Scott checking his rearview mirror to make sure his hair is all still pinned up under his boring brown wig.
Jimmy turns the book over in his hands, fingers tracing over the embossed title, the creases in the corners of the paperback cover.
If Scott notices him crying, he doesn’t say anything.
(And later, when they get home, Jimmy finishes the book.)
(And Emily marries her arrogant, handsome prince.)

Y’all the new tentative agreement for UPS Teamsters makes great changes as I’ve pointed out but as a queer employee, I’m so happy to see one consistent change: “his or her” changed to “their”
And this change carried over to the maternity/paternity section!
Trans folks can get leave for pregnancy without being discriminated against!

hey there, friends !
so. it’s may. there have been Many rumors about s5 production start dates. i think both david and joe have mentioned june as a set time, and apparently there’s a recent rumor about preliminary filming this month with certain cast members while others may be busy. idk. i Do know that there’s a potential for s5 to be affected if the writer’s strike happens -- which we should be hearing more about soon.
as far as we know, they haven’t finished writing s5 yet. earlier seasons were still being written as the show was in production, and even just last season, the duffers made changes and added scenes late into filming -- like the jonathan and will scene from the finale. if the strike happens, the way things are done behind the scenes could change, or production could be pushed back further.
things seem to be moving as normal for now. and we’ll know more as more news (about the strike + production) becomes available.
#i said i wouldn't post updates like this anymore#but i don't have anyone to talk to about this show and i love to keep updated on my own#and i think we need to be prepared for the potential of production being pushed further back in the event of a strike#i know there are like... casting rumors being thrown around and i'm not sure how legit those are#and with those rumors it seems the plan is for production to run from june 2023 to june 2024#which... we just can't know anything until it's actually happening#anyway. i'm doing a rewatch now and making more gifset plans and stuff#and i think i'll be back on here more after may 15th when this season of 911 ends lol#soooo many posts saved to the drafts to fill up the queue and i'm excited about that#also. can we talk about a wrinkle in time#like... it's literally all about love and hope and i don't know how they could be clearer about that#i hope they start posting books every friday tbh#not like i have time to read all of them but. research is fun#lex talks

The Writer's Guild has a website up to basically provide any and all information needed about the strike/negotiations from updates to a social media toolkit to information on the negotiating committee and everything in-between. I recommend checking it out!!
#wga strike#i believe they were also updating this during negotiations so you can backtrack and see what was leading up to the strike too
